"Ruines archéologiques pré-incas. Le village à côté est cute aussi"

@metrodenuit

"UNESCO World Heritage Tiwanaku (or Tiahuanaco) lies about 9.5 miles (15 km) from Lake Titicaca; its monuments and statues have excited speculation from archeologists and historians for many years. Tiwanaku is claimed by some to be the oldest city in the world; others believe it was a sacred place for Aymara, a tribe that thrived here long before the arrival of the Incas; there are even those who claim the site was built by visitors from another planet, by the same beings who they believe created the Naza Lines in nearby Peru. Nestling in the Bolivian Andes, Tiwanaku was built at a height of approximately 2 miles (3.5 km) above sea level, making construction of these massive stone monuments even more of a challenge because the stone had to be transported some distance. The first building work has been dated back to c. 500 c. E., with later additions having been added five or six centuries later. The stones used in the construction of the temples, monoliths, and statues were cut in a specific manner to "lock" them together without the use of any kind of mortar. The heaviest stones weigh around 100 tons. By the time of the Inca arrival in the mid-fifteenth century, the original inhabitants had disappeared. Some historians call this a great mystery; others claim more prosaically that the people of Tiwanaku were agricultural farmers and, as so often happened, once the land was no longer good for cultivation, they simply moved on. The Incas created their own mythology about Tiwanaku, claiming it as the birthplace of humankind. The importance of this site simply cannot be underestimated and it is astonishing that it is so little known, despite it ranking in importance with such other great monuments as the pyramids in Egypt, the Naza Lines in Peru, Stonehenge in England, and Petra in Jordan."
